ACAT'ing AGE Bank Deposit Program
16 RepliesJump to last post
For those Legacy AGE reps who left WS recently, what do you need to do to acat the wonderful AGE Bank Deposit sweep program to your new firm? I assume it has to be liquidated, but by who (back office, client, Bob Bagby?).
Can you believe that POS is paying something like .18%? Thanks!Don’t have to do anything special. Transfer the account and bank deposit comes over as cash.
I think the problem is me - I probably wasn’t reading the account screen properly. Funny how you get used to looking at the AG Edwards system for 8 years and something different looks like Greek.
By the way, if you are leaving and your old buddies claim they won't call your clients, see if they are crossing their fingers.Good because I’ve found given the opportunity they’ll stab you in the back. Greed versus the Golden Rule, what an epic battle!
What firm did you join and when did you leave? I am also use to looking at the AGE stuff but will get greek in a hurry come Feb conversion.
GG, I happen to know for a fact that the afternoon I left AGE, my manager called his regional and got specific instructions to call an immediate meeting, instruction remaining brokers that they would have their “new” accounts in Broker Vision in the morning (front office help work overtime that evening) and that, come 8:00 the next morning, that those brokers (who were and are, my friends) WOULD be on the phone to every single one of those accounts and to specifically tell the clients that I had left the firm, thast they were tjeir new broker and that they had no idea where I went or what my future plans were (i.e., didn’t know if I’d left the business). These were EXPLICIT instructions and orders given to those remaing brokers. There was no Greed or Friendship involved. It was a case of following DIRECT, SPECIFIC orders. none of this is unexpected, exept the bold-faced lying that they were orderred to do. Now, maybe I’m naive and old-fashioned, but I believe that they could have done the same job without intentionally, proactively lying to my clients (everyone in the branch new for a fact that I was with LPL).
Short story long, if you leave, WB/AGE WILL NOT play nicely.

I guess low producers FOLLOW ORDERS!!! ROFLMAO!!! I know most larger at WS do their own thing, when someone tells them to DO SOMETHING they just act contrary!
I am AGE from wayback and still here.So are you still at WS? I assumed you left.

"Nestegg, Gordon can't help you anymore. You'll have to learn for yourself, now. Come, follow me..." (music wells loudly, followed by credits listing Thumper, played by Danny Ludeman, and Flower the Skunk, played by Bob Bagby.)Gordon…Gordon.GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRDOOOOOOOOOOOOON
